Features and Benefits of the Intel® Celeron® Processor

Features 

Benefits

Single-Core Processing 

New microarchitecture with 800 MHz FSB enhances your computing experience.

Intel® Wide Dynamic  

Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.  

Execution
Intel® Smart Memory Access 

Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution. A newly designed prediction mechanism reduces the time in-flight  

 

instructions have to wait for data. New pre-fetch algorithms move data from system memory into the fast L2 cache in advance of execution. These functions keep the pipeline full,  

 

improving instruction throughput and performance.  

Intel® Advanced Digital  

Significantly improves the media performance on a broad range of applications including video, audio, image and photo processing, multimedia, encryption, financial, engineering,  

Media Boost 

and scientific applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are now issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, effectively doubling speed of execution on a per clock basis  

 

over previous generation processors.

Intel® 64

2

 architecture 

Allows the desktop processor platform to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor  

 

supporting 64-bit computing can use extended virtual and physical memory. Intel 64 provides flexibility for 32-bit and 64-bit computing.

Execute Disable Bit

1

 

Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system. Allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable, allowing the processor  

 

to raise an error to the operating system if malicious code attempts to run in non-executable memory, thereby preventing the code from infecting the system.

Intel Designed Thermal  

Intel boxed processors ship with a thermal solution specifically for this processor, designed for maximum thermal and acoustic performance.  

Solution

1

 Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check 

with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.

2

 Intel® 64 requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications 

designed for these features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.
